Folks, I am feeling increasing pain from finding EFI partitions floating around and containing spurious binaries in /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi, where there seems to be no means whatsoever for figuring out what these binaries do/are at all, or which version of it they would be and what they can support. Currently I am in the process of migrating from R.13 to R.14, and strangely the loader is now in the process of shrinking (from 862720 to 662528), so even "the larger the newer" won't hold. Question: is there any concept to get some proper version information into these binaries, from which then some identity and the commit tag could be retrieved from which they were created? regards, PMc
